Building a Bushcraft Camp: Roof Frame & Bed

I continue building at the bushcraft camp, this time we finish building the roof frame and build a raised bed in the bushcraft survival shelter. I cook some fresh broth on the campfire in a cast iron dutch oven. In the next episode we will focus on building the retractable roof and log store.

[@ronandanne1]

You and your Dad are a great team. That guy never fails to bring a smile.

[@pillarwatch]

They are, my dad and I would be butting heads about an hour in. Maybe they edit those parts out, haha.

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

I can't imagine my father and I ever getting along that well. Mike and his Dad have an awesome relationship. ❤

[@srspower]

It's great how fit and healthy your Dad is at 70. Good to see :)

[@timothyqtully807]

Back to the Roots. This is what made your channel so big. 5 stars from me. Keep them coming. Cheers to Graeme.

[@me-l-9910]

How great to see you both in the woods again. It never fails to amaze me what you create almost out of thin air - minimal tools and the resources around you. What a treat! Cheers.

[@ruffianturnt2550]

I get more excited to see your dad sometimes than I do seeing you 😅 Great work guys 👍

[@TAOutdoors]

Haha that is fine by me!

[@kennethwilson8633]

Wow love how you deal with the apparent housing shortage in the UK…Have fun stay safe.

[@glorfendell2967]

I love when Dad comes out. Thanks boyos.

[@ldsphotodude49]

Yay you and dad working together. I love you two together. Whata team

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I love watching you two work together. Your dad is genuinely funny and the two of you get on so well. It’s nice to see that❤️🤗🐝

[@mariamaldonado3275]

It feels so good to see you both. I got hooked on your channel because of you and your dad. Your dad makes me laugh. I bet he has your mom laughing a lot. It's so good to see y'all building at the camp.

[@margaretbarclay-laughton2086]

Great to see you and dad back in the woods i would point any young fathers to your videos together to learn the importance of making memories

[@susanjackson3809]

Yaaaay, am loving this. Just like the old days making stuff n working with your dad. This is what made me start watching your channel. Love it!!

[@dianeoliver7613]

Glad you’re doing good n back in the woods. Missed you and your dad.

[@TheLostTowerDiaries]

Great to see you dad working with you! xx

[@AutumnApril1989]

i love your father son dynamic, its really great to see such a wonderful relationship :)

[@reginaschmid2657]

Nice to see you back doing your bushcraft building! As much as I enjoy your camping and other types of building vids, this is what I enjoy watching the most , especially when your Dad joins you on these awesome projects! Great video and looking forward to the completion of this build! Cheers!

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

These are the kind of videos that I enjoy the most and they are the kind of videos that you do the best. Much better than the sponsored stuff that are like one big advertisement. Keep these up and I am sure you will reach 3 million subscribers.

[@alinegriffaton1237]

Merci Mike de revenir avec ton père dans ce merveilleux endroit ❤

[@mendyviola]

Enjoy this time with you dad while you can. I love his humor! Give him a huge hug from all of us in the Interlands. I lost my dad this year in New Year’s Day. He was only 76. We used to do stuff like this together when I was younger and we lived closer together.

[@ЮляМарченко-х9я]

Природа очень красивая. Строительство движется классно. Семейная династия благо истории.Молодцы! Самой захотелось кабачковый суп. Приятного аппетита! Спасибо за прекрасное видео! Удачи Вам процветания канала! 🐬 Азовское море, г Приморск🐬.

[@kevanr1776]

Wonderful. I miss my Dad. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@m9ovich785]

OHH Geeze Mike, It is such a Treat to see You & Your father in the Woods again.. When I built the Covered area off the Side of Our Camper at the Seasonal Camp Ground we were at for 30 Some odd Years. I Screwed it all together knowing at some time We were gonna take it apart again. Which we Did this Year, It got to the point of not being Economically fun to go out there any more, I am on 10 Acres here at My new Place and We are gonna Make a New camp right Here.. Thake care. Mike M.

[@nancykay6318]

You've come along way baby! LOL I think you had less than 65,000 when I started watching you. So glad you are doing what makes you happy.

[@fredcarter7003]

So nice to see your dad,again

[@piddy3825]

It's always a pleasure to see your dad getting out there and bushcrafting with you!

[@volrathy1]

The projects you do with your Dad are just always the best i dont know what it is but its really great to see

[@HighlandTimber]

You should do another colab with Alec Steele and have him make a shingle froe. Then use said shingle froe to make shakes or shingles to replace the turf roofs.

[@curtishughes3776]

Dad and son having lots of fun getting stuff done. That's awesome

[@janiepina5545]

Howdy Mike, I enjoy all your videos, and your dad is so funny, he makes me laugh 😂 you two are a great team. ❤

[@thecrew777]

Great to see your Dad again! I know many other people were asking for him. Really making headway on the camp. I was just thinking about your first Bush Craft camp and how one of the most difficult things was trying to make a roof. So glad you have the room to make it now. (Mike, your Dad cracks me up! Doing those "chin ups" with a tree stump under him! LOL!)

[@joyceb5864]

So glad to see your dad again..

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks MIke & Dad! 😁👍

[@jimriffel6969]

The interactions between you and dad are wonderful. Thank you both for sharing these times with us.

[@jonathanluce9130]

Classic viewing, great to see you and your dad building stuff 👍

[@mgainey3486]

Good to see you guys doing this again

[@Dragonballguy270]

Always love a Graham episode

[@labhrais6957]

I love to see these father son builds.

[@scottferguson2757]

Love the usage of the good old fashion bushcraft nail🤣🤣

[@riuphane]

Loving that you're doing this. I play a lot of survival games as i don't have the time or freedom to go do it for real and one of the things you'll notice is you start over and every time you make something cooler, better, and more functional and aesthetic than the last, and that's exactly what I'm seeing here. All your skills, knowledge, experience, and practice coming together to make your new camp even better and more beautiful than the original. I've never been more excited for your videos. And keep up with the ambient and cinematic shots. They always show your roots and passion and pull is into the project and woodland. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@randygalichia]

Comment below said what I was thinking, love your dad and you two together, great team and always brings a laugh.

[@turksheadbushcraftsurvival8717]

Awesome video! Great to see dad as well.

[@SAtoUSAgirl]

Very exciting progress!

[@brianhorner6340]

A class video as always!! Your Dad is still a legend and always will be!!

[@sirseanaa]

[@michaelcappello4687]

The zucchini flowers are delicious, battered and fried. You can also stuff them with goat cheese first. ;)

[@danaowen9014]

So nice seeing your dad back with you.

[@andrewharris4940]

You have the best dad in the world

[@WalterMitty1966]

Hi Mike , just love seeing you and your Dad together , just like James & I ! Cheers ATB Phil

[@ldsphotodude49]

A noggin is a 4 ounce wooden cup usually whittled from a burl from a tree. Very similar to a kuksa. Your head became known as a noggin because it looks so much like the cup turned upside down. The four and a half ounces of rum as a measure was known as a noig (unsure of spelling)

[@thizizliz]

Wow, that's going to be very nice! And your meal looked terrific too. Another great series is making progress.

[@mickestahl6178]

Love your teamwork, i reminds me of the times when me and my father was working in our forest and took down treas and cleaned up. Working together father and son is a fantastic thing to bond together. The forest is still here but sadly my father is gone since 5 years (84 years old and 60+ of them with diabetes).

[@Atruis]

I dont know what drove me to watch outdoors channels, but I do know I don't regret the year I have been subbed to this channel. Always look forward to new videos.

[@TimberrlandOutdoors]

Great job , greetings from swedish bushcrafter 👍👍

[@davesprague2445]

Good to watch a new camp being built, nice job Mike!!

[@robertcantaral2959]

You and father both have a great eye for plum and level.

[@nancyfaught3833]

Love you guys❣️

[@kingrafa3938]

Great video Mike. So happy to see you and your dad back at it again, just like the old times building a bushcraft shelter. Graeme is the added flavor in your channel. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@MyVespa1]

You and your father are so cute!!!

[@plantiuspottius2400]

We need more dad, im not saying Mike isn't great on his own but dad is dad and we all need him he's a proper laugh a minute thankyou both for everything you'll never know your saving lives especially mine take great care much love fellows. 🙏

[@elsathal7359]

Thank you for sharing ✌️💞🤟

[@Deathtrooper27]

Awsome videos as always man !

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

In a word - fascinating

[@ddraidex6842]

Great video guys good to see you two together again out there

[@mastermasonjoewillis3904]

Cool video, and a proper looking lunch!

[@markforrestsm]

Brilliant to see you and yer dad in the bush camp and working together! I think "noggin" is a uniquely English term - my parents were both born in the UK and I remember being raised with that term in use around the house..

[@mitzigaynor-rz5zn]

The term ‘noggin’ is used in Australia also.🇦🇺

[@mikebennett6713aceadventures]

Awesome as usual. Sorry been offline for some time. Missed you brother. You are on point as usual. Love you mate.

[@janetwhite3768]

Great to see you and your Dad working together again!😊

[@kermitthepog7063]

Love to see you getting back to the classics. There's room for this stuff and the new stuff. I learn something from every video!

[@ArielleViking]

A brilliant build and lots of giggles from seeing your dad's humor. I'm loving this build. 👍

[@JSMCalder]

Excellent Mike. That’s a great bed. Enjoying this build 👌🏻

[@Phongly33]

The video is awesome

[@lawrencemartin1113]

Fantastic work team! If I were you though, invest in a couple of pairs of log tongues.....makes the shifting of all those materials soooo much easier. Quick and easy to use and will save your back. Nothing wrong with using them for bushcraft either, they are an old tool used by those logging for over a hundred years. They revolutionised the way I shift timber around. (I already have a bad back!!) Love this camp and I am not remotely envious of your woodland....not even slightly....😢

[@suemiles3960]

Yes! You two are a great team! Im learning alot ! Thank you

[@richardmacyczko1580]

We're really enjoying going back to bushcraft beginnings. These are things that we can do with the basic materials you find in the forest. (Of course if the forest is close to a hardware store for nails). LOL. More please. Respect from you many friends in Florida USA 🌴

[@mariemedina257]

Marie from Colorado USA I dig your viedos.. Yummy on what you made to eat...

[@Rumblestrip]

Suggestion...try wooden dowels, say 1 inch or 1.5 inch dowels on joints. Time honored tradition. Many barns in your country and mine were built with them. The trick to em is getting a tight fit but not overly tight. Its an acquired skill, but can save nails if you dont mind investing a bit of time. They make a very solid joint. Just notch the joint lumber before pinning with a dowel. Can make them from branches or saplings. Ive used them in several structures myself over the years.

[@SatishKumar-ve3oi]

My medical condition became worser, i am not in good state . I once was enjoying your videos , now i couldn't enjoy your videos . I hope i will recover soon and get back to my old happy condition. I respect your works .Thank you 🌻☀️

[@ericmiddelbos129]

nice project. see you soon

[@ethanjamesgarcia3914]

Your area is a perfect place for building. My city doesn’t have a single straight tree

[@malcolmfunnell4501]

What an awesome Dad . Legend material

[@godschild3640]

Wonderful

[@Windys21]

Mike your Dad is getting more like Bruce Forsythe every time I see him lol. Good video lads x

[@guus6541]

Mike I want to say I really appreciate your work and the effort you put in your vids!! You are an amazing bushcrafter that really learned me a lot of skills and techniques over the years. Its great to see you and your father enjoy a great time together outdoors! Btw the vegetable garden looks great too! 😊

[@FunfindersX]

Great job 👍

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really enjoyed watching cheers Mike and Mr pullen the food looked nice

[@canoecampfishhampshire]

A noggin as a mug was made in Germanic cultures to look like a head. It was a caricature of a head and ugly like a troll's head. So when used to refer to a person's head it has the meaning of the person's head and implies that the person is ugly. Hence, "Use your noggin" and "Got hit in the noggin" both work

[@93tiny08]

Your dad absolutely loves the bones of you Mike. You’re an extremely lucky man.

[@Jonny-gg3be]

Awesome work Mic and Graham love when you two get together. Some team ❤❤

[@allanmason7544]

great vid again both

[@gca259]

The bushcraft-camp looks like a movie set for a Flintstones film... Fred and Barney? ;-)

[@Mantreaus]

Feels like Home. Cheers to you both!.

[@JackNewell-xf8yy]

Hi Mike, hope all is well. I just subscribed to Life of Mike and I am looking forward to seeing another set of videos and what I may learn from those. My grandson is coming home from the Army in couple of months and I am going to take him on trip into the woodlands and see if I can teach him about bushcraft. I hope he will be receptive to bushcraft and I hope we can bond and spend time together. Thanks for all your bushcraft videos and what I have learned from you and I am looking forward to spending time in the woods with him and maybe he can learn some things as well. Cheers and keep up the good work.

[@mickhardstaff6605]

Still a good supply of bent nails then Graham 😂😂

[@TAOutdoors]

Never ending!

[@seedy-waney-bonnie4906]

Very cool video.

[@flainYT]

Very good video, it's a shame we can't do this stuff over here in Queensland Australia.

[@jakeells66]

Looking forward to "the craft stuff"
